How to Initiate a Return or Exchange

At HorecaStore, we aim to ensure every product reaches you in excellent condition. We understand that returns may occasionally be necessary. This policy applies to all HorecaStore customers — including restaurants, hotels, catering businesses, and individual buyers — and is designed to provide clarity, fairness, and protection.

Because we specialize in commercial-grade products, our return terms reflect standard practices in the B2B food service supply industry.

Return Eligibility by Product

Each product has its own return window, which is clearly displayed on the product page. Products may have different return periods based on category (e.g., perishables, equipment, made-to-order, custom-made, or disposables).

To qualify for a return, the request must be initiated before the return period expires and can be requested directly from your HorecaStore account or profile page.

Returned items must be:

Unused and uninstalled
In original packaging with all parts, manuals & accessories
In resalable condition

  • 0% restocking fee
